Abstract:

In this article, I try to explore the squeezing concept of adult education that provides a
kind of identity to the field characterised by vagueness, diversity and the links to social
justice. This diversity is also present when talking about the participants in the process.
After presenting the concept of adult education, I explore three different experiences
that I have referred to as non-traditional spaces of adult education. In the conclusion, I
consider that the diversity, the production of knowledge, and the role of both teacher
and learners are essential to define non-traditional spaces and non-traditional
participants in adult education.
